Industry Certification & Licensures

Individuals who have completed training comparable to college-level programs through
non-degree awarding agencies or institutions may apply for evaluation of credit as
crosswalked. Examples include recognized nursing, fire service, law enforcement/corrections or
fire science academies, and other certifications or licenses.

For Industry Certifications and Licensures (cross walked or non-cross walked), students
must have at least 15 WVC transcribed credits with a 2.0 or better GPA to be eligible
for academic credit for prior learning (ACPL) consideration

Submission of official records, as well as supporting documentation must be submitted
that includes the following: content, level, time period, hours, location, method
of instruction, instructors, method of evaluation and achievement.

All certifications or licenses must be current and valid and training must be documented
with ACE National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training. (If training is
not documented with ACE, students should apply for credit using the ACPL Course Challenge method.)

Training documentation will be evaluated by instructional faculty in the appropriate
department to determine the comparability.

Approved credits are identified on the student’s transcript as credit for professional
certification of training.

Credits earned though documented college-level learning, must be related to the theories,
practices and content of the relevant academic field and must fall within the regular
curricular offerings of an appropriate course or program, but for transfer degrees
they may be used only up to a maximum of 15 credits as restricted electives.

ACPL credit is limited to a maximum of 30 credits required for WVC degrees or certificates.
Workforce programs, specifically, are limited to 25% of total credits for degree.

Credit is posted with a “P” grade and will not affect the GPA.

There is no fee for cross walked Industry Certifications and Licensures. If non-cross
walked, there is a non-refundable application fee of $50 plus a $10 fee for each credit
(same as Course Challenge).
